Trains

What a fabulous review day we had! We dressed up as train engineers and played with the wooden train sets. We read oodles of books about trains, their history and the different types of trains. We practiced the all of the letters we've already learned with our St. Patrick's Day train printable. I'm so impressed with these kiddos that are picking up their alphabet and utilizing it to begin reading. Keep up the great work at home!

We also made a cute train craft that involved cutting and coloring. I'm bummed I didn't snap a picture of a finished train. We continued working on writing our names with a focus on specific troublesome letters. Math was so much fun as we started learning about coins. Today we focused on the penny. We sang songs about the penny and its characteristics. Preschoolers really love learning about money!

I'm a homeschooling mom to CJ (7) and EMan (5) and we are sharing the love of learning with our playgroup friends. I used to host a formal preschool in my home but am now focusing on our own family for the time being.

I've created my own toddler and preschool curriculums that have had excellent success with many students reading before Kindergarten.

In short, I believe that children can learn the basics of reading and math while they are still young. This instruction is a structured learning environment that helps young children learn boundaries in a safe way. Once they have the basic building blocks down they can move into a more unschooling learning environment where they take the lead and show me what they'd like to explore and learn.
